Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Sometimes we need God to make what he wants from us plain and simple to understand. I need to handle those around me justly - practicing patience and dealing with others in fairness, without partiality, and treating them as I would like to be treated. I also need to practice mercy - blessing others in need with what they don't deserve but so greatly need. I need to walk humbly with my Abba Father, knowing that without his grace and help, I will fall short and fail. I need to act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with [my] God." I have a sneaking suspicion you need the same.

My Prayer...

Father, please make of me what you will. As you fashion me, please bless me as I seek to be a person of justice, mercy, and humility. I know you identify yourself as the "I AM," known by your righteous character, gracious compassion, and faithful lovingkindness. In Jesus' name and through the power of the Holy Spirit, I seek to become more like you. I am thankful for Micah who made clear that this begins with me acting justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly with you. Please help as I depend upon your grace and the power of the Holy Spirit to do just that! Amen.
